We are releasing the sixth iteration of the Viewer 1.22 Release Candidate (RC5). Please help us to identify any new bugs before it becomes an official download for Second Life.
If you have already been using the Release Candidate (RC4), you will now be required to update to RC5 with the latest bug fixes. But, participating in the Release Candidate viewers is completely optional. You may install this viewer side-by-side with the official 1.21 viewer that you normally use.
In RC5, we have repaired most of the problems you reported with “picking” the correct object under your cursor. For example, you can now Edit or Touch items that are attached very close to your avatar, such as a scripted necklace. We have also solved problems with properly clicking on attached HUDs. This iteration also includes stability fixes to prevent common crashes. For a complete list, please see the Full release notes.
We still need your help to find crash cases with RC5 and final feedback as we prepare to release an official 1.22 viewer soon! Please visit the Test Viewers page to download the Release Candidate and experiment with it. Its stability is comparable or better than the 1.21 viewer.
You can discuss the release of this new Release Candidate here in the SL Forums.
Be sure to report new issues in the Issue Tracker and set the “Affects Version/s” to “1.22 Release Candidate”.
